305-032-500-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-500-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual female board-to-board or backplane applications. It features 32 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and a 0.140-inch (3.56 mm) row spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts made of copper alloy and accepts PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). It employs a wire hole termination method and includes no mounting lugs.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact finish thickness and plating specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required termination style and flange characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female card edge interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Ensure the application environment temperature remains within the -40°C to +105°C operational limits defined by the manufacturer.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides a range of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options, including solder lug and wire hole styles. The 305 Series is widely used in industrial and commercial applications requiring robust interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 32-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, dual female gender, and wire hole termination. Verify mechanical compatibility regarding PCB thickness tolerance and overall height. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' equivalent series for pinout and dimensional alignment.
